We have concluded our 2024 Selection Process! We are excited to share that we have selected 33 newstudents – talented and visionary kids who will become our bright destinies class of 2024. At Jóvenes Adelante we are preparing to receive them with our traditional welcome Meeting, and preparing our full support program that will accompany every step of their professional life. |
2024 Class by the Numbers |
This year we have a higher percentage of males than in recent years, but females still lead the pack. |
26 students are already currently in college, while 7 are at this moment graduating high school, and are looking for a place in the university of their choice. We will have results about their university admission soon: |
Within our expended regional presence, San Miguel de Allende again had the majority of students selected, but we saw a significant increase in students from neighboring participating cities: |
New Updated Profile |
Our exciting new class of 2024 is our strongest overall field ever, characterized by students already showing high impact potential, strong commitment and social conscience. They are visionaries with a minimum GPA of 9, higher incoming English scores with greater EFL commitment, and looking to make a difference in their communities, in San Miguel, the Bajio and in Mexico. We now include students who are closer to graduation, or finish line students, who have demonstrated significant academic success but require financial support to complete their studies. These students have less than 3 years to finish college. JA will be by their side, providing guidance in the last and most challenging years of their studies, easing their transition to internships and, subsequently, to the job market. |
Careers |
These are the careers chosen by the selected applicants. (Please note that this preliminary data for the 7 high school graduates, as they are still waiting for their results from the universities in the careers for which they applied.) |
